I need to drain some oil as it was over filled by my not to clever assistant, I think i have to unscrew a bolt underneath the engine, is this right and can some one tell me where it is exactly.
Thanks

Beware you don't lose all the oil  !!
 
    Could  be tricky  putting  the  sump plug  back in once the oil  is  gushing.  
 
 Just in case  you  mess it up,  keep  a video camera running and  make a few quid  by sending it  in  to that  fat bird on the Telly
